I've had my beardie for 2 weeks now and when I try to pet or hold him he try's to bite be or runs off. How can I get him tamed? He is approximately 2 months old.

With patience. Be sure to approach from the front or side, and not over the beardie's head. Maybe offer a treat. I would start with just light touching, and not try to pick up yet, if he's objecting that strongly to it. Some people suggest to put a shirt that you've worn into the tank with them so they can become familiar with your scent.

Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding
Finally replaced Swordtail's substrate
